Very happy with my first besseae blooming (bought in spike, thank you John M for this great plant )

And side by side with my "false" Waunakee Sunset (Jersey ? or else)

The petals are nice and full and the color is good. Looks like a keeper. Mike

Wow! Gorgeous!

Beautiful! You may remember that this plant was repotted while in spike shortly before you bought it. Just wait until it blooms on the next flower stem it makes on a fully established root system and aclimatised to your conditions. The flowers should be even better!

Absolutely gorgeous and the quality I'd expect of John's
plants and your good care.

Yes thank you again John for this very nice plant. I actually repotted it also when it arrived because in my conditions the basket and CHC mix you had would not have worked well. It is settling now and new root tips are visible through the clear plastic pot.
The new growth is also developing nicely now.
